The Royal Assent •I , :ts notified by Commission to the Exchequer 'Bills pending Bill, the Irish Distil leries Bill, the Sugar. Drawback Bill, the Irish Sugar Bill, the Quarantine Superintendant's Bill, the Westminster Sunday Toll Bill, and several local and private Bills, in all 33. • The Commissioners were the Loki Chancellor, the Duke of ;Montrose, and Lord Walsinghem. The Linen Duty Bill was read a thhd time and passed. The Irish Bilk Trade Bill passed through a Com mittee, and was reported. • A conversation took . place on a Bill for rendering valid a marriage which was invalid in law,and .legi timating the offspring, The Duke of Norfolk moved to, postpone" the second reading for six months, The Eatl of Westmorland argued in fa vour of the Bill. The Lord Chancellor and Lord Elleriborough supported the Dicke of Norfolk's mo tion, on the grounds that it would tend' to prejudge a question that .might come judicially before theM, and might opt•rate great injustice to other parties.— The motion was agreed to; and the Bill lost. The Earl of HARROWBy laid on the table the Re , turns' from the different Dioceses relative to Livings under 1;301. per annuM, and moved for an Abstra& of them,. Which- was agreed to, The 'Duke of Nottinui. wished to be informed, whether the, Noble Earl intendrd to propose any measure relative to this subject The Earl of HARIZOWBY said, from the pecuniary nature of the ititendt:d measure which he had on a for s tuer occasion mentioned, it must originate in the the Commons. He was' confident that the present staie of the •Church needed only to be known to in duce Parliament to:consent to the proposed measure. Lord lixtio hoped that sufficient time would be given to discuss the subjeet; and that ample infor mation would be laid bt-fore the House, particularly as to . the . funds. already nosst-ssed by the Church. . The Earl of H Attnoten V observed, that_the greater part of the information necessary with respe4 to the number of Livings under t5Ol. per annum, had been laid on the table last .Session. The .returns of four Dioceses were the n wanting,,.whichwere now. complete. He differed radically with the Noble Lord as ,to his view of the subjea, and trusted that Parliament would see the expediency 'of Givill& that assistance to the Church which was so much wanted:. The Marquis.WELLE5L laid on the table some additional Papers relative to'the Campaign in Spain, and adverting to the documents alluded to by the Marquis of Lansdowne on tim preceding day, stated, that he intended to 1.:!) , on the table some further Papers on Monday, which would include all the documents relating 'o the milit;lry operations or political trabsa6tions, as connected with the Cam paign in - . .

On the motion of Mr. •PERcEvAt p the House weor...into a Committee, to cin:,ider'of inEreasing the saliries.ot.the Judges i,r SeOtiand and IrelJial. • Mr. PEncEvAL'obs.rved, that list SessiOn the salaries of the English Judges had been increased, and the same considerations of the increased ex pence of living, and the propriety of the .dignity of the judici d station, required that a pro portional increase should be r- , xientb d to the Ju ( 4 cs in every part of the Untled Kingdom. At : present the salary of the Kirons of the Exchequer iii Seet-. laud was, only 12001. a, yen - , a sin by 1W means adequate to ti e,support (.f their (...,;nity r he there.: fore proposed an acklitrou of 8001. which wou:d make altogether a net 20001. a year., The Lord. of Ses , iou - and. Justiciary lnl on't,y 17;001. 'their duties were important,. attended with •the increasing charge of goil,:g the circuit twice a ycar. : ' be prpposed for them zoi Addifion of 9001. - which would give them a net inColbe of 26001—a . .,year.- Ile proposed , also that ;the of the Lord Presi dent of the Session ,situtild be raised to 4,3061. that of the Lord Justice clerk to 40001. and that of the Chief, Baron - to 380.01. a year. With tbgard. to h e Judges io Irelankh . lie proposed that the sala ries of the I'u she Judos of the diFerent Courts, whin at present i.vcij.o only .(25001. a year, s h ou ld b e t•iiiti to 30001. which would make them the same with, the salarits 0-the smiler Judges in England. • The night Hon. Gentleman concluded with pro posing 'twoßes•lniions to the above efFeti. Mr. HU,TCHINSON wished to call the attention of the Right Hon. Gentleman to the inadequate salary ofthe Recorder ot.Cork, whose jurisdiaion . extended over a distrita of thirty miles, And a. popUlation of 100,000 inhabitants. He submitted that some- ad ditional provision should be made for this Judge. Mr. l'eticEvAL corcived that the Recorder of Cork must look to that city, and not to the public, for any increase of emolument. At least, in this country, no sneh'application could lie listened to. After a fe'w additional observations from Mr. FOSTER, the Resolution for increasing the Salaries of the'Jtidges in Ireland was put and - agreed to. The'ResolutionS, propoSing an increasmf Judges Salaries in Scotland, produced a short discussion. • Lord A. HAMILTON professed 'himself not satis fied of the necessity for increasing the salaries'of the Barons of Exchequer. It was notorious that the duties they had to perform were far from. laborious Mr. BOYLE COUt.2o::,:d; it i.vould.be- invidious to, make a , marked distinction between their salaries and those of the other Judgers in - Scotland. Mr._,BßouonAm proft-ssed himself or the same. opinion. He trusted, however, that steps would . . be taken to throw open the Court of Exchequer tn Scotland to civil causes, as well as those conneEted with the. Revenue. This would increase the im portance and 'Utility of the Court. Mr. ADAM thought that the Chief Baron ought to. have 40001. a-year, as well as the Lord - Chief Justice Clerk. The dignity of the former was, in his opinion, eqeal to that of the latter. Mr.. PeticEv4r. bad no objeOion to insert that sum in the Resolution, and if afterwards thought to be too large, it might be diminished in the Bill. The Resolutions were then agreed to, and the Report was ordered to be received on Monday. Mr. WHITBRBAD postponed his motion for• the produaion _of. Mr. Bathurst's correspondence, till ; Monday next. At the same time he wished to put a question to the Right Honourable Gentleman op posite. Lord Chattam. had resigned his office of Master of the Ordnance on the 3d March; was any successor appointed to that office, which hitherto bad bra thought of importance ? If it could remain vacant a month, ui - hoot detriment to the public service, why not abolish it altogether as unnecessary ? Mr. PBficEVAL, as we -understood, replied, that the appointment to this.office was at present under consideration, and had not yet keerrv,ettled. Mr. GoLpuaN Movei.l the order of the day for_ the further. consideration of tlie Report of. the Local Militia :Bid. Mr. W4ITBRAD expreSsed a wish that this or. der should be postponed, as being likely to create a good deal of discussion, for which, after the fa tigues of lat night, the House W35 . .n0t in a fit state. Besidoi, several of his f6ends, who had amendments to propose, were nosy absent. This request va acceded to, and the Bill went through a Cormnitte pro furrini.„ when several amendments were rtceived, and the Report was ordered to be taker' is►to farther co►►sideration on Monday. e l:he other orders of th e dly were then disocs d cf, and the floll3eadjournei till Monda.f. • MAILS.

The private. letters to the 24th ult. which accom pani,ed the Portuguese and Spanish RiperS brought by the Cadiz yesterday,• (the chief contents of whicli.appeared in THE ti . r.r of last nighty-4 tend to give a- favourable account of the state of affairs in the PeninsUla, and shew that wh;qe v e r niay be the.final issue, the Renck have very great difficul ties to encounter. •A sally was made.on the- 17th from the Castle of San Pedro to Chiclana, about seven Miles, and the Spaniards destroyed two bat- - terles, which had been, raised by the,. enemy.. Se veral hundreds of the latter were killed. The French had not made any formidable attempts on Cadiz down to the Lad. Some differences have arisen between the Re gency and the Puke of ALBUQUERQUE, the -ilex Governor,of Cadiz, respelling the want of due pro• visions,. clothing, &re. for the troops, but all things had been settled quietly. The accounts from Cate_ lonia were very favourable. VICTOR (who has so often been killed by report) and not SOULT, is said to be the Commander of the French army that in vests Cadiz. His force consisted, at the date of these diSpatches;of about 25,000 men. By the ,accounts of dest•rters from the-enemy, they are much in want of •pro+isioris. A packet steering for Cadiz• saw On the 24th the fleet bound for that port, with a reinforcement of troops. The dispatches which arrived yesterday from Lord W 24- LINGTON give a very gratifying account of the state of our army on the Poi tuguese frontier 3, as well as of the improvement of the native troops.' A report was this morning circulated that the French had taken Heligoland. We are happy to say that iris Wholly unfounded, and that there is no danger of that valuable little island falling into the hands of the enemy. Yesterday, a little before three o'clock, hisMA ZESTY visited lIICTiILiCCSS AMELIA. SIR FRdNCIS BURDETT: We are sorry to nod that some persons, profesi. ing to be the Friends of Sir ATRANcrs BtranEll, have endeavoured to excite s ome thing like Publ' c • disturbance, in consequence of the Vote of 1 1 ' 6 House of Commons for committing the Honourable • Baronet to the Tower, but, at the same time, W e feel it to be our d u ty to correctthe very exagger- - Ate 4 accounts which have been circulated respeing the fer° ment in the public, mind. It was stated that an im 77l ° ll' 5 crowd was assembled i n th e avenues to t h e flone'-'•"7 4 Commons during Ole debate on Tpursday night. * - point of falEt,• thpre were never more than tw° 6 - t three hundred people collected in the lobbies and i t ' Palace-yard' (and the greater part (1 them_ w ere hays), and they were easily dispersed by a few C° ll. stables. It has also been stated that grouper of Pe a ' pre were, during the whole of yesterday, colle&ed ir/ different parts of the town. This is also inaccurate) • , at least if by groupes is meant considerable bodies 0 1 people. , Early yesterday morning, a bill, printed in larg e letters, was pasted up in many parts of the tow° , calling a meeting of the inhabitants of Westminste r ) in consequence of the Vote of the House of Cory' 'mons respeaing Sir F. BURDETT. Many people , of course, stopped to read these Bills, and these we re the only groups assembled during, the day, exc e p t one opposite Sir FRANCIS BVIIIIETT . .S house, and 0 ° upon Tower-Hill. We stated yesterday, thCt as soon as the result of the debate was known, Mr. JONES BURDETT, W llO attended at the - House during the whole of the debate, had a 'conversation with the Serjean t at Arms, and told him that he would ad °fl for Wimbledon to acquaint 'lts brother with the event ; ,and to arrange the time and place of b ig surrendering himself into custody. 'As soon as it was known that Si FRAucts was orddred into Os' tody, people began to collect in Piccadilly, opposi te to Sir FRANCIS'S house. As the crowd increased they amuse 4 themselves with compelling all persons passing by, either on foot : or in carriages, to pull off thOr hats, or in the event of a refusal, 1)64 them with Mnd. This was the extent of the Fq i r chief which they'dici till night. Sir FRANCIS arrived A his house from Wimble' don about . one o'clock, and was -a course loudly cheered by the crowd. The Serjeani at Arms, with the warrant for the. commitment of Sir , FRA,NGts, ac" companied by' tvvo Mesqengers of .the House ° Commons, repaired to the'Euronet's house; but 13° was not coveyed to the Tower. There are differen t reasonss-assigned for the non-execution Of the visr" rant. It is positively stated in A paper of this moriP ing, that Sir Faarrots refused to. obey the 1 .1 7 4" rant, and, that he told the S.erjeant at Arms th at he would repel force by force, However We disapprove of the, Ooriclua of Si: FRANCIS, cannot suppose that he would hold such lan" gunge, or that he would adopt a conduEt must inevitably lead • to . such fatal conse quences. We are rather inclined to attribute non -execution of the warrant to, a desire Of Sir FRANCIS not to increase the confusion. wr e • trust that in giving him. credit for so. good a motive, we are not deceived. But whatever was the cause, it is certain that he was not conveyed to the To'g er yesterday,. • At night the crowd opposite Sir FRANCIS'S hollge, .increased.very considerably, and became extretneli noisy and tumultuous ; al length they proceeded 1 9 aas of nrisclner,- and began breaking windows. ' l4 " party of them went to St. James's-square, a nd i broke the windows of Lord CASTLEtRAGH and Lord DARTMOUTH, but upon the appearance of a gag a ' they dispersed with uncommon rapidity. They af:" tervvards broke the windows of Sir JO:HN ANSTEti'• THER and Mr. YORKE, and were proceeding to Lord CHATIIAaI'S housp, in Hill-serest, with the vile iiitent, but they. were interrupted by a party of til e Guards, and fled in all dire&ions. Many persons, tor the purpose of saving theft windows from being broken, placed lights in thern) particularly in Piccadilly, Pali-Mall, • St. James''' . square, and Bond-street. We trust, however, that effeEtual means will be take to prevent a repeti^ lion of similar scenes to-night. • - A number of people assembled yesterday uPoc' Tower-hill, and remained there during the wbulP of the day ; but at dark they dispersed without doing any migchief. The reports of Sir FRANCIS intention of resisting by force, have, been again circulated to-day, but no thing but the evidence of facts shall induce us to give credit to them., Sir FRANCIS, we have been assured, 'requested per mission of the Serjeant at Arms to remain with his , family last ni g ht s an d prom i se d to accompany h 1.03 quietly to the Tower this morning, but he had not been conveyed thither when this paper was 'JU L to press.
